Compliments of BikeSafe & police motorcyclists - free online training. Be skilful, be safe, be seen

BikeSafe is a national police run motorcycle initiative, aimed at working with motorcycle riders in a relaxed environment to raise awareness of the importance and value of progressing on to accredited post-test training. BikeSafe workshops involve an observed ride with a police graded motorcyclist or approved BikeSafe observer. With some local variation, BikeSafe workshops aim to cover: attitude, observation, cornering, overtaking, filtering, junctions, group riding, hazard awareness and the system of motorcycle control.

1. BikeSafe eLearning. Motorcycle skills/safety development videos - x9 modules - takes two hours and is time well spent - especially if you like the idea of being skilful, safe and seen. bikesafe.co.uk

 2. BikeSafe Extra. Live online theory class - hosted by one of our police motorcyclists, this is a lively and interactive, two-hour review of the key aspects of motorcycle roadcraft. Dates: 22/06, 06/07, 27/07, 17/08, 20/08, 07/09, 21/09, 05/10 and 12/10. bikesafe.co.uk

And of course, we highly recommend that all motorcyclists join us for one of our 'gold-standard' BikeSafe police-led workshops. BikeSafe has been running for twenty years, costs just £65 and is the perfect opportunity for a 'skills check-up'. Find your local venue here: bikesafe.co.uk

Be skilful. Be safe. Be seen - and we look forward to seeing you online or at one of our full BikeSafe workshops or at a future motorcycle event.

I did the Bikesafe course on Sunday 29th April 2018: it was the best £50 I've ever spent! NB: now £65 (bah, inflation!) but is still a bargain. High quality training by police motorcyclists: which will make you a better, more thoughtful rider, and might just save your life...
